Writing the Rough Draft of the Research Paper

Using your outline, begin to tie the content together into complete sentences. Plan to have the rough draft complete one full week before the final draft is due. This will give you time to reflect and edit the paper. Save all your work as you type, and save the paper in at least two places each time you add anything (i.e. hard drive, floppy disk, flash/travel drive, email it to yourself, schoolloop; even printing a copy is better than nothing). Teachers to do not accept excuses such as my printer failed, my computer crashed, or the dog ate my disk. BE PREPARED!
